Sinthesis of Bentonite-Fe2O3 Composite and the Application in Photodegradation of Phenol Solution

ABSTRAKPenelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimen yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakteristik komposit bentonit-Fe2O3 hasil sintesis dan mengetahui pengaruh waktu penyinaran terhadap kemampuan komposit bentonit-Fe2O3 dalam fotodegradasi fenol. Aktivasi bentonit dengan menggunakan HCl dan dikarakterisasi menggunakan XRD dan komposit bentonit-Fe2O3 disintesis menggunakan metode impregnasi dan dikarakterisasi menggunakan instrumen XRD dan SEM-EDX. Fotodegradasi fenol konsentrasi 10 ppm pada variasi waktu penyinaran 60 menit ; 120 menit ; 180  menit ; 240 menit ; 300 menit. Pengukuran hasil fotodegradasi fenol menggunakan Spektrofotometer UV-Vis pada Panjang gelombang 270 nm. Hasil karakterisasi menggunakan XRD pada bentonit teraktivasi menunjukkan kesesuaian puncak 2θ dengan montmorillonit. Pada difraksi bentonit-Fe2O3 terdapat puncak baru yang terindikasi Fe2O3 menunjukkan bahwa komposit bentonit-Fe2O3 telah tersintesis. Karakterisasi morfologi menggunakan SEM-EDX menunjukkan bahwa pembentukan partikel Fe2O3 yang ditandai dengan hasil EDX dengan persentase Fe sebesar 12,77 % dan O sebesar 57,76 %. Komposit bentonit-Fe2O3 mampu mendegradasi fenol pada konsentrasi 10 ppm sebesar 45,70 % pada waktu optimum 180 menit. Sedangkan padakonsenntrasi yang sama kemampuan fotodegradassi bentonit adalah sebesar 1,22 %,. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan fotodegradasi bentonit-Fe2O3 lebih besar dibandingkan bentonit.Kata Kunci : Komposit bentonit-Fe2O3, Fotokatalis, Fotodegradasi, Fenol.ABSTRACTThis research is an experimental study that aims to determine the characteristics of the synthetic bentonite-Fe2O3 composite and to determine the effect of irradiation time on the ability of bentonite-Fe2O3 composite in phenol photodegradation. Activation of bentonite using HCl and characterized by XRD and bentonite-Fe2O3 composite was synthesized using impregnation method and characterized by XRD and SEM-EDX instruments. Photodegradation with concentration of phenol at 10 ppm and irradiation time variation at 60, 120, 180, 240 and 300 minutes. Measurement of photodegradated phenol using a UV-Vis Spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 270 nm. The results of characterization by XRD on activated bentonite showed that the suitability of the 2θ peak with montmorillonite. In that bentonite-Fe2O3 diffraction there is a new peak indicated by Fe2O3 indicating that the bentonite-Fe2O3 composite has been synthesized. Morphological characterization using SEM-EDX showed that the formation of Fe2O3 particles was indicated by the EDX results with the percentage of Fe of 12.77% and O of 57.76%. Bentonite-Fe2O3 composite was able to degrade phenol at a concentration of 10 ppm by 45,70% at an optimum time of 180 minutes. Meanwhile, at the same concentration, the photodegradation ability of bentonite is 1.22%. This show that the photodegradation ability of bentonite-Fe2O3 is greater than of bentonite. Keyword :Bentonite-Fe2O3 composite, Photocatalyst, Photodegradation,  Phenol

The Effect of Civics Learning on Self-Control for Fifth Grade Students at SDN 118 Matajang, Camba District, Maros Regency

The main problem in this study is whether Civics learning influences the Self Control of fifth-grade students at SDN 118 Matajang, Camba District, Maros Regency. This type of research is ex post facto research with quantitative methods. This study aims to determine the effect of Civics learning on the Self Control of the fifth-grade students of SDN 118 Matajang, Camba District, Maros Regency, amounting to 38 people. The research instruments used to collect data were Observation, Documentation, Questionnaire, and Test. The results showed that the data were analyzed using descriptive, correlation, and the Coefficient of Determination Test. Data were analyzed using the technique. Descriptive statistical analysis found that the pretest's average value (mean) was 66.18 and was in a low category, namely 53. While the average (mean) of the post-test was 90.11 and was in the high category, namely 95. In correlation analysis using Correlation Coefficient Interpretation, it can be seen that the correlation of the two variables is in a Strong category because the value of T Count 0.616 is greater than the r-table 0.329 at a significant level of 5%. For the Coefficient of Determination test, the coefficient of determination is 0.379, which means Civics Learning affects Self-Control, which is 37.9%. Then obtained Tcount Table or 0.616 0.329 so it can be concluded that the proposed hypothesis is accepted (Ha). This means that Civics learning affects the Self Control of students at SDN 118 Matajang, Camba District, Maros Regency

Pengaruh Pendekatan Parenting Style terhadap Motivasi Belajar Siswa Kelas V pada Pembelajaran PKN di UPT SPF SDN Kaccia Kecamatan Tamalate Kota Makassar

The problem in this research is how the parenting style approach influences the learning motivation of class V students in PKN learning at UPT SPF SDN Kaccia, Tamalate District, Makassar City. This research aims to find out and describe the influence of parenting style on the learning motivation of class V students in PKN learning at UPT SPF SDN Kaccia, Tamalate District, Makassar City. The type of research used in this research is mixed methods. Based on the research results, it shows that there is an influence between parenting style and learning motivation obtained from the completed questionnaire. This can be seen from the simple linear regression equation, namely Y 56.99 + 0.433, meaning that every increase in the regression coefficient X 0.433 illustrates that every 1% increase in parenting style will cause an increase of 0.433 in student learning motivation. That 5 out of 10 parents apply a parenting pattern between authoritarian and democratic or situational parenting. Meanwhile, the rest use a permissive parenting style in the sense of not providing too much support and implementing low levels of control over the child. Based on the results of the research above, it can be concluded that there is a positive influence of parenting style on the learning motivation of class V students in PKN learning at UPT SPF SDN Kaccia, Tamalate District, Makassar City

Application of Picture Media in Improving Children's Speaking Ability at Zivana Monte Sori Makassar City

The problem in this study is whether the application of media images improves children's speaking skills at Zivana Monte Sori Makassar City. The purpose of this study is to find out whether the application of media images can improve speaking skills in children at Zivana Monte Sori, Makassar City. Research was conducted using a type of classroom action research (CAR). The research procedure consists of planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting. Based on the results of research conducted at Zivana Monte Sori, Makassar City, the results of children's speech development were obtained, as evidenced by an increase in the average child's speaking ability during pre-action cycle I. The results showed that children who developed very well (BSB) were 4 children (16%), then in the second cycle of action the results were 10 children (40%) who developed very well (BSB), and in the third cycle the results were 16 children (64%) who developed very well (BSB). This means that the average increase in children's speaking ability through the media of images during pre-action, Cycle I, Cycle II, and Cycle III is very significant in its improvement.
